ABSTRACT:
A shift apparatus includes a shift lever operable to select a first mode of a transmission when the shift lever is disposed at a first position and to select a second mode of the transmission when the shift lever is disposed at a second position, and a base supporting the shift lever. The shift lever automatically returns to a home position after selecting the first mode or the second mode. When moving the shift lever from the home position to the first position to select the first mode, the shift lever is moved in a first direction and then in a second direction which is different from and not directly opposite to the first direction. When moving the shift lever from the first position to the second position to select the second mode, the shift lever is moved in a third direction which is different from the first and second directions and not directly opposite to the second direction.
